Actually,the 450s will give the 700s a run for the money,the 450s are derived form High strung Motocross race motorcycles and the 660 /700 is from more lazy On road Off road motorcycles.

The 700R is based of the original YFZ450 (frame, front A arms, ect) the 450 is a all out race bike whereas and as you prob know the 700 is more less a trail/all around machine!

WHoa! There is a race dedicated only for the 250 series? Most of the videos that I watched in youtube are the raptor 250r going up against the bigger ones like the 450s or 660s. And ofcourse the bigger one won!

Do you have links of these races of 250r series?

I love dirt wheels mag! they keep me updated, though its unfair to do a head to head match, small atvs versus big atvs, that is not fair, it violates the rules of nature.
